If you do work out - Is it gym time or team sports? Do you enjoy it? Why do you do it?

If you don't really - Why don't you? Do you want to? Why or why not?

I personally have a weekly work out schedule: Tuesday and Friday is gym time, Thursday and Sunday mornings are running and Thursday is swim night. I really enjoy running, the other two are just to keep me in shape and strong. I run because it's fun and gives my brain all the good shit it needs to work better!

I don't. Well, not in the traditional sense of 'I'm going to exercise for a while now'.

I get my exercise in while getting shit done. I don't walk on a treadmill, I walk from an early bus stop to work/home. I don't lift weights, I carry heavy groceries home from the store, etc. I take the stairs instead of the elevator, I wash my laundry by hand instead of sitting on the machine, I use my pokewalker instead of grinding random encounters.

I just got back into the gym after a long hiatus, and have starting following my old routine again. I go to the gym about six days a week: I go three times in a row with the fourth day off for rest. I do about a mile run before my workout, and plan to build that up to a two mile run every other day with a decent time.

I don't do abs though I really should. I aim for 10 reps at 4 sets for the larger muscle groups and only 3 for the smaller. Usually if I actually hit 10 reps I up the weight a bit until I can barely get 6 good reps. Because all my exercises are super sets I can usually get in and out of the gym in around 45 minutes. I tried pairing triceps and chest once because the exercises are similar but I found when I do that my triceps are too tired from the chest exercises to get a decent workout.

I don't. I just walk everywhere that I can walk and otherwise take the bus or train for longer distances. Same as Minibit mentioned, I take the stairs as well instead of the elevators if the option is available and generally try to move around as much as I can between the many hours of sitting still focussing on something.

So no. I don't work out. I'm terrible lazy and horribly untalented (and dangerous) at sports anyway. So I'm better off running and walking around. My brother claims he works out by waking up though. So if that may count?

5x5 sets of squats

Oats immediately after followed by 6 hours of mirror posing.

I've been stalling on my exercise because I haven't been able to use my fucking arms because of my skin condition.

I start out with 1 minute plank, 1 minute side-plank each side, 1 minute reverse plank. I also do 1 minute L-sits on the floor. This followed by 5 minutes of practicing my handstand.

After that, I do 1x12 pushups before following it with plyo pushups and archer pushups, as well as pseudo-planche pushups. I follow this up with wall assisted handstand pushups. I'm not good at those yet.

The following day, I'll do the planks, L-sit and handstand practice followed by 2x50 hindu squats or plyo squats or jumping split-squats or assisted pistol squats. I then do 3x8 pull-ups or chin-ups. This followed by bodyweight rows.

For cardio, I run. I used to row and swim but I have no pool or row machine due to not having a gym membership anymore.

I alternate three days in the week working Bench Presses, Overhead Presses, Deadlifts, Squats, Barbell Rows-- all with the barbell. I do various curls with dumbbells, along with lunges and if I'm feeling cheeky, farmer walks.

I have a gym near where I work. I have one about 1/2 mile from the house, and I have the exercise equipment in my house as well.

3 Days a week Cardio. Usually on the exercise bike 12.15 miles in 30 minutes and then 15 minutes at a semi-easier pace.

3 Days a week Weight Training with my Bowflex or at the gym. 45 minutes

1 Day a week taking care of the yard 1 hour. If the yard doesn't need any work then I will figure out which one (cardio/weight) I feel more like doing.

The bike will be replaced by running in August once I get the go ahead to start running again. I was up to 7 miles in less than 45 minutes, but tore up my shins in the process by doing too much too soon. Now I have been told start out at 3.5 miles and build up gradually.

I do bodyweight exercises twice a day to keep myself from devolving too far these days. Nothing too fancy as my back and knees suck, but it can basically be summarized to lots of pushups, planks, and some shadowboxing.

I forgot the exact words of a /fit/ poster on 4chan, but it was something along the lines that even a stupid Batman workout routine was better than sitting on your ass all day doing nothing. I realize my workouts are pretty plebtier compared to some people, but until I can arse myself to do something greater it's better than nothing.
